Research direction

Start in elf.py at lkm_dynlinker and inspect how relocation handling is organized for the architectures already supported. Determine the ARM64 relocation cases needed for loading ELF files, then verify that an ARM64 ELF with relocations loads successfully through Qiling.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
arm64 relocations are not supported. so even though Qiling supports the cpu, it is not possible to load an ELF with relocations.

Describe the solution you'd like
probably add handling of ARM64 relocations to function lkm_dynlinker in elf.py
